:confused: Tillman didn't do anything wrong. He was being driven home drunk from a nightclub. Who hasn't done that? Are you seriously suggesting that Tillman should be excused from the team because he went drinking at a nightclub and DIDN'T drive himself home? You've been demoted to third-string.
Can you read? Based on your completely off-the-point response to my comment, I'm going to assume the answer is, "a little - but not much above Dr. Seuss (I'm giving you some credit here because Seuss would occassionally use non-monosyllabic words in his books).
To summize my point to which you inaccurately responded: I was not pointing out that Tillman should be punished. Rather, I was pointing out the inconsistencies in the statements about how Saban is laying down the law and not going to tolerate behavior that is deemed detrimental to the team.
If this were truly the case, then Saban would have done something to Tillman for being far drunker than Williams, still getting in the car, and being a participant in the drag race. Particularly when Tillman is supposed to be rehabbing from surgery.
If there were an accident and someone had been killed, both players would have been charged with vehicular homicide or manslaughter because the law holds both accountable for being stupid and reckless.
Fortunately that isn't the case here and Tillman did not violate a law. But Saban, should do something to a player who is this careless.
Now that I'm back on the team, best of luck to you in Arena Football.
